Prior to Elissa's total insanity fest, most of the people in the house were targeting either Amanda or Amanda and McCrae for the upcoming week, but using "we are going after Elissa" as their cover story. However, now that Elissa decided to sink her own ship, everyone actually is after her. As mad as everyone is right now, I'm not even sure they will target the returning jury member over her, which in my mind is great. It would give whoever returns a week to re-integrate themselves in and try to form some bonds, make deals etc.. Instead of walking right back out the door the following Thursday. Unless it's Helen, in which case she can walk right back out at any time. PLEASE don't let it be Helen!! The only way I think Elissa will be able to be saved this week is 1. The HGs do decide to just oust whoever comes back, 2. she wins HOH (in which case Aaryn and Spencer will go up or Aaryn and Amanda) or 3. She wins veto again.

Anyway, after all the big events of the day, for a long time it was just Elissa bashing and Movie talk. Around midnight GinaMarie got very sad and started to cry in the cockpit. It's her birthday and she is a have-not, plus she felt some of the others were making fun of her. So, while she cried in the cockpit, the other HGs (minus Elissa) decided to toilet paper her bed and dress up in her clothes and throw a party to cheer her up. GinaMarie gave a speech and they all talked about their favorite GM moments, and everyone was happy for a while.

After the party was over, there was some general chit chat and then the HGs (minus Helen and Elissa) started speculating about the coming HOH. Amanda and McCrae do want Elissa out, but they are also after Aaryn this week. Everyone thinks this is going to be The Wall endurance. To be honest, I didn't pay attention to what time they were locked down, but it could very well be endurance. With a HG coming back from Jury, it would be fitting to do an endurance comp and make them really fight it out for HOH.

Helen has accepted that she is leaving, and the other HGs have made lots of plans for the upcoming week, but all of those may become null and void once the announcement of a returning player comes. We will just have to see. I am super excited as this should be a pretty crazy night regardless of who comes back and who wins HOH (GO JUDD!!). I'm going to prepare myself for an evening of madness. As always, you can follow me on twitter @ashes2ashes13 for more overnight live feed updates. Until tomorrow night...

I know. I was surprised too. Apparently the veto comp was this year's version of OTEV. OTEV was a love-sick beaver. From what I have heard on the feeds, Elissa went into beast mode and was unstoppable in the competition even managing to someone half-blacken Andy's eye.

The most hilarious part of this veto win for me is that Helen was jumping up and down, dancing embarrassingly, and arrogantly boasting about how she and Elissa are both staying and Spencer is leaving when in actuality, Helen is definitely still leaving. The scary part of course is that with Helen leaving on THIS Thursday, she could potentially bounce right back into the house if she wins the competition to re-enter.

Right after the veto comp McCrae and Amanda had a bit of a debate about next week. Amanda already has her plan in place to ditch Spencer, but McCrae thinks that Elissa is more dangerous since she has now won more comps than Spencer and cannot be controlled once Helen is gone. I'm pretty sure Amanda will end up winning again as usual, but it's worth noting there was at least a debate about it.

Speaking of Amanda and McCrae, they also had a small tiff when Amanda decided to have a meltdown because....wait for it.....she had not seen enough of McCrae today. I'm not sure how that's even really possible in the BB house, but she manged to freak out about it.

Helen wasted no time after the veto comp in trying to make a new alliance wtih GinaMarie to secure GinaMarie''s vote. She is sure that she has Amanda, McCrae, Elissa, and Amanda, but she wants it to be a unanimous vote, so she went to work on GinaMarie. GinaMarie did her usual "agree with everything but mean none of it" thing and later told Aaryn about the whole conversation.

GinaMarie also had a meltdown tonight. She was apparently sad that OTEV did not ask any questions about Nick, and "that's all she wanted". While she was crying to Aaryn about it, Aaryn leaked Andy's suggestion from earlier in the day that the three of them got to final three instead of taking Amanda and McCrae. Aaryn was not supposed to tell GinaMarie, but I doubt Andy will find out she knows since GM is probably the ONLY one in the house that is good about keeping her mouth shut when it comes to Game info.

Amanda once again told Elissa tonight that Helen is leaving. She told her it's done and there is no point in her trying to get a campaign together because it will just put a target on her. Amanda had dropped hints to Elissa before about Helen possibly going this week, but apparently it did not sink in until this time. I'm curious as to whether in the coming days Elissa will tell Helen or not. She doesn't really have any reason not to as she has her veto and can't be sent home this week. She is also much closer to Helen then she is to Amanda, so chances are high she will tip Helen off at some point.

The rest of the night was mostly spent drunkenly (for the ones that could drink) talking over each other and hanging out. Since Helen has no idea she might be the target, there really isn't a lot of campaigning or gaming going on yet, but I am sure as she gets more paranoid it will ramp up in the next few days.

That's pretty much it. As always, you guys can follow me on twitter @ashes2ashes13 for more overnight live feed updates. Until tomorrow night...

Well, the have-not comp was played and nominations happened today. The week's have-nots are Helen, Elissa, GinaMarie, and Amanda. Elissa and Helen were nominated as expected. When the feeds returned after nominations, Helen and Elissa were talking to each other about how it all comes down to veto tomorrow. Helen has no idea she is the target. She has been told Spencer is the target if they can backdoor him, but if not, Elissa will go home. Most of the HGs think this will be the "how bad do you want it" veto, and Helen said she is prepared to shave her head and eat slop for the rest of the summer. It will be interesting to see who does win veto as that could change the plans this week.

For a while Elissa talked to McCrae and Amanda about how she feels her time in the BB house has been unfair to her and how she wants to go home. She still claims she will not stay in jury, but will walk if she gets evicted. She also told him had she had an idea she would get evicted after jury started then she would have tried hard to get evicted before jury started so that she could go home to her family. My head hurts from all the eye rolling.

Amanda started on her newest campaign obsession tonight. With Helen firmly planted on the block for now and her intention to send Spencer packing next week, she is hoping after that she can get Andy out because she feels no one can beat him in the end. She told McCrae and said that Aaryn agrees with her. McCrae didn't seem to like the idea, but he wasn't exactly opposed to it either, which means if Andy doesn't watch out, he may be in trouble soon. As much as I dislike Amanda personally, I can't deny the fact that she has controlled most of the evictions this season. If she sets her sites on someone, they usually go. This could all change though depending on who comes back into the house this coming Thursday. She may have to do a 180 and set her sites on re-evicting that person.

The rest of the night was mostly boring. There was another nail party (yawn) and the boys downstairs plus Amanda spent a good portion of their night begging for booze. McCrae and Amanda also did the usual face sucking among other activities.

After talking a lot with Aaryn over the course of the night, Helen came to the conclusion that Aaryn and everyone else (except Andy in her mind) will not use the veto if they get it. So, she spent a while coaching Elissa on how she MUST win tomorrow in order to stay there. This conversation turned into more of Helen boasting how she would never give Jessie a job recommendation in real life because she has bad character etc.. Helen really cannot go fast enough.

That's pretty much it game wise. It all comes down to veto today. If Helen wins, Elissa will go. If Elissa wins, Helen will go. There are perks to both in my opinion. I just really hope something happens to liven things up after veto. As always, you guys can follow me on twitter @ashes2ashes13 for more overnight live feed updates. Until tomorrow night...

Loose lips sink ships, and Helen talks a LOT! At some point during the night a conversation happened (that I missed) in which Helen talked in front of both Aaryn and Jessie about Jessie trying to flip the house last week. This offended Jessie.

Next thing you know, Jessie marched herself downstairs to confront Helen at the pool table about saying that in front of Aaryn who is a known ally of Amanda. Helen told Jessie it was common knowledge that she tried to flip the house last week. Jessie called Helen out by telling her it wasn't just HER trying to flip the house. Helen and Elissa were in on it too. Helen responded to this by saying "Well, that's a lie!" (it isn't) and marching back inside to try to find someone to victimize herself to.

Then the re-tells began! Helen ran and started re-telling her version of the story to Amanda and Andy. Helen's version was of course far from the truth and made it sound like Jessie might as well have been running after her with a butcher knife.

While Helen was upstairs rattling on about what a victim she was, Jessie was downstairs in the cockpit with McCrae telling him EVERYTHING. She told him about the plan to get Amanda out. She told him she was in on it. She told him that the reason it crumbled was because Helen and Elissa needed her to make out with Judd and try to get his vote, but they were not able to get Judd or Andy, so the plan failed. This of course was validation to McCrae that everything Judd told he and Amanda about Helen and Elissa was actually true. A little late, but he gets it now. Unfortunately, Amanda came along and like some bellowing over protective freak yanked him from the cockpit and wouldn't let him talk to Jessie anymore.

Jessie followed McCrae and Amanda outside and started to tell Amanda the exact same information, but as people started filing in and out of the house, the conversation kind of stopped. Amanda however, was in favor of calling a house meeting to get everything straightened out. The house meeting never happened, but Helen confronted Jessie in the bathroom in front of Amanda and McCrae as soon as they came inside. Helen accused Jessie of being a liar, and Jessie basically just said "yeah, okay Helen" and off stomped Helen to the HOH to complain and victimize herself some more. She only stopped on the way to announce "That's okay, she's going HOME on Thursday!" to the entire house.

After Helen had begun her 3rd or 4th re-tell of the night to Andy, Jessie came upstairs and round 3 began Jessie vs Helen. Jessie was calling Helen on everything! She was on point too. All of this happened right in front of Andy. All Helen could really do was keep saying "Okay, I'm DONE with this!" and "No I didn't" in a very non-convincing manner. Jessie sucks at competitions and at Big Brother for the most part, but she OWNED Helen in this fight.

During the middle of the fight, Elissa felt the need to lean in the HOH door and ask Jessie if she was on any new drugs from the DR. Jessie told her she was offended that Elissa would ask that. Elissa told her that she was acting so crazy, she just thinks she is on some kind of new medication. I'm not kidding you guys, this is how Elissa acts. I can't tell if she is bat-shit crazy, a passive aggressive shit stirrer, or both. Whatever it is, I'm so amused!

Eventually the fight between Jessie and Helen ended and Jessie was called to the DR. Amanda, McCrae, Aaryn, and Andy were then subjected to Helen's thousandth re-tell of the night in the HOH room. Each re-tell of course being even MORE ridiculous than before, and Helen of course still not admitting that she DID in fact try to get Amanda out last week and even celebrated when she got Elissa on board for it.

Amanda and McCrae eventually went downstairs into the bedroom they have to themselves this week and had a small fight where Amanda told McCrae that it was a huge slap in the face to her for him to have been talking to Jessie in the cockpit. McCrae explained to Amanda that he has to play his game too. They also argued about the fact that McCrae thought Jessie was telling the truth for the most part and that meant that Judd was not the one putting up Amanda and not the one trying to get her out. Amanda did not agree at the time, BUT, in the middle of their spat, they heard yelling coming from upstairs and decided to go listen.

Helen and Jessie were having round 4 at the chess table!

Amanda and McCrae listened as Jessie and Helen went back and forth again. This time, THINKING she was more alone, Helen admitted to being in on the plan a little more than she had before. I guess she didn't realize she was screaming it at megaphone volume though. Elissa realizing what was happening came running to where Amanda and MCrae could hear what was happening and started talking REALLY loudly about how offended she was that Jessie was offended about the "on drugs" inquiry. She made sure to talk loud enough that they could no longer hear what Helen was saying, and kept it up until round 4 of the fight was over.

Elissa then planted herself in McCrae and Amanda's bed with them, so that she could sit and talk shit about how "insane" Jessie is. Aaryn joined them along with Helen, and it became a free for all talk shit about Jessie session. Amanda and McCrae were basically just laughing along with what the others were saying, but Helen was still screaming and so was Elissa, and Aaryn was still talking at audible volume. They laughed about the plan to blindside Jessie this week, and about her going to jury. They kept talking about how crazy she is etc.. etc..

Jessie was listening at the door to the whole thing.

Everyone scattered to their separate places to chat after a while. Helen, Elissa, and Aaryn went into the have-not room to continue bashing Jessie, while Amanda and McCrae went into the bathroom to chat. Amanda and McCrae both agreed that they knew now that Helen was trying to get Amanda out, and that Elissa was likely in on it. Both stated that this means they HAVE to strike first this week and get Helen gone unless she wins veto in which case they send home Elissa.

While they were in the bathroom talking, Jessie started hiding people's things and then went to her bed to start reading her Bible. While she was reading, Andy came in the room to ask her what was up. Jessie told him "I know everything, Andy. I heard them all talking through the door." Andy asked "What did you hear?" Jessie said "What do you THINK I heard?!". Andy then realized he was busted and Joined Amanda and McCrae in the bathroom to talk some more about what was going on.

Andy, McCrae, and Amanda all agreed that Helen and Elissa messed up the plan to just have a drama free week and not have anything happen until they blindsided Jessie. Andy agrees that Helen or Elissa need to go, and that Jessie was right about Helen trying to get Amand out last week.

Jessie came out of her room and went to go smoke slamming the door behind her while they were all talking. Spencer and GinaMarie were outside and played dumb to knowing what was going on. Both of them knew for the most part what was happening, but had the fortunate luck to have not been in the rainbow room talking shit while Jessie was listening at the door.

Jessie told Spencer and GinaMarie that she is content now and that she doesn't mind going, she is just glad she knows that she wasn't crazy and that all these people really were working together and not with her. She said she can now go with a clear conscience now that she has called out Helen on all of her bullshit.

Everyone is starting to wind down now and just talk game in their little corners. I think the main thing that happened tonight was the beginning of the sinking of the SS Helen. The only people left that actually trust her now are Aaryn and Elissa, so she should probably start praying now that one of them gets HOH. A lot of other small conversations and tiffs also happened tonight, but it was really hard to keep up as all of this stuff happened very quickly on all four feeds. I think you get the general idea though. Jessie is DEFINITELY going home now, but she didn't go down without providing some last minute entertainment for us all. We still have a few more days before eviction for some blowups to happen (fingers crossed). The upcoming HOH comp just got a LOT more exciting!!

As always, you guys can follow me on twitter @ashes2ashes13 for more overnight feed updates. Until tomorrow night... (unless something crazy starts happening again and I need to follow-up.)

Well I thought it was over, but it wasn't. While Jessie was outside with Spencer and GM, she mentioned that Aaryn also talks shit about GM (which is true). Somehow Aaryn caught wind of Jessie saying this, but instead of being mad at Jessie, she is mad at GM.

Round I've lost count: FIGHT! Aaryn got snippy with GM in front of Spencer and Andy in the HOH room and GM got loud. Aaryn started to leave the HOH telling GM to "just LEAVE me alone", but GM did nothing of the sort. GM kept trying to calm Aaryn down in between telling her "oh you wanna fight with me now?" until the feeds cut to fish. There was possibly (unconfirmed) a chest bump from GM that Aaryn keeps saying scared the shit out of her when the feeds were cut.

Currently, GM has called a house meeting in the HOH which everyone except Elissa is attending, so that GM can get everything out in the open. (what?). Last I heard none of this had anything to do with GM, but it's entertainment so I'm going with the flow.

House meeting over and nothing is solved, however, Helen, Elissa, and Aaryn have all been re-telling and re-telling, and Helen and Elissa have managed to convince themselves that there are actual mentally insane people in the house and that Jessie is a sociopath. Helen believes that Judd might actually come to Chicago and kill her. I can't make this stuff up. All logic has left the BB house, and I haven't even written up half of it. Are they all on drugs? What reality is THIS?!

Final summation: They are all in bed now. Every HG was involved in at least one fight tonight. Helen and Aaryn are the most insane because they think everyone except McCrae, Amanda, and Elissa actually ARE insane and may stalk or kill them. I know it sounds like I'm making that up or playing off of them joking around. I'm not. Helen actually does think Jessie may stab them with a knife and that Judd is either going to go home and kill himself, or hunt her down in Chicago. She thinks it may be part of the game that they have been placed in a house with unstable people. They are basing all of this off of one comment Aaryn made about how Shelly got death threats (when she helped evict Jeff).

I have skipped writing down SO much of what happened tonight just because I could never cover it all, so if you have the feeds, flash back. If you don't have the feeds, GET THEM and flash back. What a night!
